Oye Lucky Lucky Oye

Oye Lucky Lucky Oye...

A fun and light hearted movie...slick dialogues...good characters...a paisa vasool picture!!!Its about Lucky(Abhay...gorgeous and dimplish) who is the famous super chor sought by the police everywhere. What sets him apart from the rest of the petty thieves is his style and flair of stealing the most atrocious items like showpieces, foto frames with pictures of families enjoying the snow, and most amusingly...a couple of dogs too. Simply put...if you tell him you can't do it - he'll do it. "kyon..nahi kar sakta?" is his fav line which sums up his thought process beautifully.

Shadowing him closely are his childhood friend Bangali and Paresh Rawal in 3 different roles. The common factor between all 3 characters played by Paresh is that they all are father figures who deceive or disappont Lucky.

No moral high ground, no justification of his methods, no regrets and one hell of a gutsy theif- That's Lucky.

All in all, this one is a must watch for Abhay Deol who surprises and delivers superbly. He's the lovable chor you all wanna root for...watch out for him in the scene where he helps an old uncle remember that he was indeed the chor who he had chased...and then follows it up with a so-how-u-doing-sab-theek-thak-na pleasantries.

You'll definitely go Oye Lucky Lucky Oye after this watch!!

Quantum of solace

Quantum of Solace

Everyone thinks this is a Bond movie..its not. Its a movie about James not about Bond.The movie is a high paced action flick about agent 007 and his fight to uncover and destroy a powerful and secretive organization called the Quantum. There are car chases, fight sequences, blood, violence, deaths, betrayal...the whole lot. Yet..it does not feel like a Bond movie. Why? I asked my friends the same question..what did you expect from the movie? Gadgets, guns & girls...and Quantum misses out on all of these...there are no fancy gadgets that are the trademeark of Bond movies. Same is the case with weapons technology. Olga tries to do justice to the Bond girl tag but doesnt quite accomplish it.

So whats good about the movie if at all? Like i said in the very first line...the movie is about James the person and not about Bond the agent. Daniel Craig brings the human side of James Bond to the forefront and lets the sauve agent side take a backseat. Judi Dench is brilliant as usual. The action sequences though a little in the category of Rajnikanth-meets-Die-Hard are impressive.

Watch this one to discover more about the character of the agent 007...

Wall-E and Wanted

Saw WALL-E and Wanted recently...

WALL-E is the cutest robo movie ever!!! Its amazing how few words can craete such an impact...the way WALL-e goes "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVAAAAAAAAAAAA" is meant to melt the toughest of hearts...the concept that extreme mechanisation can make us lose connection with our human side is also good...the concept is subtly expressed in the flabbiness of the future humans and their extreme dependancy on mechanical aids...But logic kinda goes for a toss when the humans plan to come back to earth..no apprehension, no anxiety, no medical concerns about immunity etc whatsoever...but all in all...a good watch...the special effects take all the credit!!

Wanted...is an out-and-out Rajnikant/Chiranjeevi/Mithun picture dubbed in English...the only saving grace..Angelina, Angelina, and yes...Angelina emerging from the water!! The story line was promising...but loses focus somewhere in between. The ensemble cast are a waste...Morgan Freeman is not dark enough for his character's flaws. And the hero is such a loser in the movie that you wanna slap him yourself and ask him to show some spine!! Once again..watch it for the effects and Angelina who looks like a Olive-Oyl lookalike..
